Why Won’t You?
why won’t you?
what can a person do?
cannot give any more presents,
do not sway in a person’s mind.
paradise is easily lost,
but with you, so easy to find.
why won’t you?
why don’t you?
i am waiting here like an idiot
by the side of the road.
no sign on the outside.
why won’t you
just do what i think i’d like you to do?
it could be good.
why won’t you?
i wish you would.
James Garratt – Monday 9th October 1995
